Resources
are things we get from living and nonliving environment to meet the
needs and wants of a population.

Some resources
are basic materials, such as air, water, and soil; some are produced
from basic resources, such as food, fuel, and building materials; and
some resources are nonmaterial, such as quiet places, beauty, security,
and safety.

The supply
of many resources is limited. If used, resources can be extended through
recycling and decreased use.
